GFI outlet problem

My electric oven is on its own 220V 50amp circuit. It recently started to throw a GFI outlet on a separate circuit (110V) when my wife turned the oven light on. Now it's started to throw the same GFI at random times even when the oven is not in use. I checked the GFI receptacle w/ a three light tester and it shows all three lights on but dim. When I unplug the oven (on the dedicated 220V circuit) the 110V GFI checks out 'correct' with the tester. What the heck is going on? My gut tells me that the stove (15 years old) has a component that has gone belly up. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

What do you have to indicate "normal" with the breaker in the OFF position ??? Are the tester lights ON or OFF - and if ON - how is that possible with the breaker OFF ???
